At 113 St. Mark’s Place in the East Village, Crif Dogs puts a creative spin on the New York hot dog. Choose from combinations such as the Tsunami, topped with pineapple and scallions, or the Lil Ma, with peanut butter and pickles. The all-beef chili dog brings a crisp casing and chopped onions; tater tots make a useful side. The dogs are on the small side, so pair one with tots for a lighter stop or split a couple of dogs and a loaded side for a more filling meal.
Hot dogs with unexpected toppings
Crif Dogs is a hot dog restaurant at 113 St. Mark’s Place in the East Village. Its menu ranges from a chili dog with mustard and diced onions to combinations built around toppings such as cream cheese, scallions and everything-bagel seasoning.
For a sweet-tangy mix, the Tsunami comes with diced pineapple and scallions. The Lil Ma pairs peanut butter with pickles. The Elote Dog is topped with sweet corn and cotija cheese. If you want a more familiar order, the all-beef chili dog with chopped onions has a crisp casing and flavorful chili.
Make a meal of it
Tater tots are a natural side, with loaded versions for a more substantial bite. The hot dogs are on the small side: one with tots works for a lighter meal, while two dogs and a loaded side can make a fuller meal to share.
There are vegan hot dogs and truffle parmesan tater tots, too. In warmer weather, weekend seating moves outside onto the closed street, giving the stop a more relaxed feel than a busy late-night visit.
